Chapter 376: Holy Soldier City
The two flew into the crater, carefully checked the map, and one of them went to the wrong place.
"Do you feel that something is wrong?" Ma Xie said to Yuan Wuji, "In this crater, we all seem to have become lighter?"
"Hmmm, it seems to be!" Yuan Wuji tried to jump a few times, and sure enough, it was.
Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji raised their heads in unison, and above their heads, there was a huge "planet".
"There's ...... Holy Soldier City?" said Ma Xie.
The Holy Soldier City is not a city on the ground, it is the same as the Hanging Mountain, it is a city floating in the sky, but it is much bigger than the Hanging Mountain, and it is a huge sphere.
"This Holy Soldier City can't be built into a city from the meteorite that was smashed here!" Ma Xie said.
The two of them rose from the ground and flew towards the meteorite in the air.
The closer he got to the meteorite, the more Ma Xie saw the whole picture of the meteorite.
It is an irregular sphere with mountains and basins on top of it, and many towering buildings.
The roofs of those buildings were on top of Ma Xie's head, and Ma Xie felt as if he was going to fall headfirst down.
When he was still more than ten miles away from the meteorite, Ma Xie felt a powerful attraction.
When he got closer, he felt as if his body had been stretched a little.
The food around it also began to stretch and begin to blur, passing by Ma Xie's side.
By the time Ma Xie came to his senses, he was already standing in front of a huge iron gate.
And the sky above him was a normal blue, and he couldn't see the earth at all.
It seems to be another layer of space.
The iron door is formed by the vertical handles of two equally large hammers crossed by each other, and the hammer head of the hammer is firmly smashed into the ground.
Where the iron cone handles are staggered, there is a plaque made of metal, on which are written the three big characters "Holy Soldier City".
"This is it. Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji walked over.
There are no guards in the Holy Soldier City, and there is no army, because it is useless to have them, because the people here will take out their weapons to fight if they disagree, and they will also furnish if they want guards.
The people who came and went to the Holy Soldier City all came here to trade, this was all the business of the Holy Soldier City, and they did not refuse to come.
From the moment Ma Xie entered the gate, he felt that it was different from other cities.
From the ground to the building here, all of them are glowing with a layer of metallic luster, Yuan Wuji touched it, and even the ground here is cast in metal.
On both sides of the street, there are rows of shops, all weapons shops, and from time to time there is the sound of "ding ding dong dong" striking iron.
Ma Xie walked along this street and found that in addition to selling weapons, there were also traps, hidden weapons, and "alien fires".
Forging weapons is the art of fire and water.
Different divine soldiers need different kinds of fires, and here are all kinds of fires collected by dragon slayers from foreign lands and sold here.
A little further on, there are also a variety of strange things that are indispensable for casting weapons, such as heavy water and black ice.
This entire street is the property of the Divine Soldier Alliance, and all the sects have rented shops here to sell their products.
However, they generally only accept big customers, and the so-called big customers are large orders from third-rate sects and cultivators of the Yu Dan Realm.
Qi Refining Realm cultivators like Ma Xie, they wouldn't even look at it.
"Let's go to the Divine Machine Gate first. Ma Xie said.
The Divine Soldier Alliance originated in the Holy Soldier City, so there are still many sects here, and they are all loyal believers in the "Soldier Master".
The so-called "Lord of Soldiers" is the "Lord of a Hundred Soldiers", a cultivator who has been mythologized by the Divine Soldier Alliance.
It is said that he created the Holy Soldier City, and he is also the idol worshiped in the hearts of all casting masters today, and in the hearts of many cultivators who make a living by casting weapons, his status is even higher than that of Emperor Haotian.
Because of the appearance of the soldier master, their profession, which was originally at the lowest end of the cultivation world, has become a profession in the cultivation world that can go hand in hand with charms, formations, and pills.
Before the Master of War, in addition to the cultivators in charge of battles, charms, formations, and elixirs were the mainstream, and cultivators who forged weapons and developed hidden weapons were only regarded as "craftsmen", not much different from cooks, and were "cultivators who are proficient in mortal skills." ”
Because things like blacksmithing, cooking, raising exotic beasts, and so on, are very similar to some professions of mortals.
At that time, the cultivators looked down on such cultivators, so they would only be at the lowest end of the cultivation world, which was also the reason why Qi Nanfeng's master, Master Huang, was discriminated against by his own sect, because he was a cultivator, but he had to pursue the skill of mortals - cooking.
And the appearance of the soldier master made people realize the importance of these cultivators who are good at forging divine weapons, and they can even determine the outcome of a sect war.
Ma Xie walked to the center of the city, where there was a statue of one hundred and twenty-eight zhang and five feet three, and this statue was naturally the master of the soldiers.
And this number is said to be the real body of the soldier master.
"Can human beings be so high? Yuan Wuji whispered.
The so-called Dharma phase is the form that appears after the condensation of mana, and the so-called "Dharma phase heaven and earth" is the embodiment of the "Dao" mastered by the practitioner after reaching a certain realm, which can often be as high as 100 zhang.
"Here's an introduction, let's see. Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji walked to a bronze tablet in front of the statue, where the children were densely packed, recording the life of the soldier master.
On the bronze stele, it is clearly recorded that the height of the soldier master is indeed one hundred and twenty-eight zhang and five feet three, and he is also the tallest known human being.
Contrary to many cultivators, on weekdays, the soldier master will use mana to comfort his body to the size of an ordinary person, and when fighting, he will let go of his comfort and show his true body.
The greatest contribution of the soldier master to these craftsmen is to summarize the method of forging divine soldiers.
He was the first person to think that divine weapons could be consciously forged, and he summed up the experience of all craftsmen at that time to create the first set of theoretical systems for forging divine weapons, and from then on, cultivators could produce divine weapons in batches when the materials were sufficient—of course, only low-level divine weapons.
Prior to this, the appearance of the divine soldier was always considered to be blessed by the "gods", and it was only by chance that they could appear, and all that human beings did was to greet this "blessing of the gods" with the best skills and materials.
"Weapons are created by human beings, and divine soldiers are created by human beings, where is the god of weapons, only the greatest human beings can create the greatest weapons!"
The second contribution of the soldier master is to put forward the theory of "machine spirit", his earliest claim that the "sword spirit" is not the secret art of some noble blood cultivators, let alone their innate ability, but a cultivator's "bond" in the battle with the weapon, but at that time, only those cultivators who have inherited a long family have the opportunity to use divine weapons.
Of course, the many forging methods left by the master of the war have made great contributions to the cultivators of later generations.
Not only did he create his own method of forging divine weapons, but he also collected and transformed many forging techniques that were about to be lost.
The soldier master has never regarded himself as a cultivator, he has always claimed that he is an ordinary human being, just a little stronger.
He once apprenticed to a mortal blacksmith and asked them how to master the heat of fire by observing the color of the flame, and he also stole from the master of the mortal world to learn the trick of arranging the mechanism......
What surprised Ma Xie even more was that it turned out that the soldier master and Daozu were contemporaries, and they were Daozu's best friend, and Daozu's right-hand man in the war to overthrow the Eight Great Families.
He provided a large number of divine weapons for Daozu's sects, and the combat effectiveness of the army in Daozu's hands was directly improved.
On the battlefield, he laid all kinds of traps, and even used mortal warfare to introduce the main force of the eight great families into the trap, eliminating the main force of the alliance of the eight great families in one fell swoop.
He even personally created a unique divine weapon for Dao Ancestor, which was the first divine soldier in the past and present - Creation Senluo.
It's just that after defeating the Eight Great Families, this divine weapon was sealed forever by the Dao Ancestor because it was too powerful, and now it is missing.
Reading this history, Ma Xie's eyes seemed to emerge hundreds of thousands of years ago, the chaotic and magnificent world.
Two young people who rose from the mundane fought side by side all the way, and finally overthrew the Eight Great Families who ruled all mankind, changed that dark world, and saved thousands of mortals and cultivators.
What kind of courage is that, what they have to face is not those Dao realm masters in the Eight Great Families.
What they have to face is a long and depressing era of human beings that has existed for more than a million years, they have to face a decadent old era, and they have to face the fear that ordinary human beings have long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, blood and soul in the face of the eight major families.
These two heroic young people, when everyone rushed to cling to the Eight Great Families to seek refuge, resisted the banner of rebellion against those families that had been inherited for millions of years.
It was an endless darkness, and Dao Ancestor and the Soldier Master, relying on their own wisdom and strength, ignited a little fire in the darkness, and finally formed a raging fire that burned to the entire continent.
"Dao Ancestor, Soldier Master......"
Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji looked at this history, their hearts were full of reverence, if they were born in that era, it would be a great honor to be able to follow such two men.
The two stood in front of the statue of the soldier master for a long time, feeling the demeanor of this peerless hero hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Just when Ma Xie was immersed in this history, someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Liu Zongxuan.
"You did. Liu Zongxuan said happily: "To meet you here, God really helps me!"
"Yes, I'm here to find you, aren't we going to take the dragon slayer exam together. ”
Liu Zongxuan nodded, and happily brought Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji back to his sect.
